Uni pulled her knees to her chest as she grumbled to herself, her mood as low as it could possibly get. And the worst part? She didn't even know who she wanted to be mad at. Sure, she wanted to be mad at a certain gilded robot general. But… he was not in violation of the contract the goddesses made him sign. All the contract he signed said was that he would not post 'obvious misinformation about or regarding the goddesses. Of any era'. Which is why she had to bite her tongue. After all, his latest article posted on his generalsummarysite was…
"Does Lady Black Sister get smaller when she transforms? Our objective look may shock you!"
Damn him!
No one was supposed to know!
And just of course that article became the number one trending chirp. Goddess. How humiliating! Every person talking about how your chest gets smaller when you transform! Everyone coming to the conclusion that she stuffed her bra when she was in her human form. Damnit! No amount of explanation would convince the masses she didn't stuff her bra! It took Nepgear feeling her chest to convince her! Wait… Nepgear…
This had to be her fault! She was the one that always found it oh so hilarious that her chest shrank! She probably blabbed her damn head off to that goddamn robot! She probably delighted in the whole thing!
"Why?" Uni found herself subtly asking no one. As she curled herself more and more. Why? Why did her so called 'best friend' find such delight in embarrassing her!? She knew she shrank! Why did she have to find it so goddamn funny!? Especially with her developed and exposing HDD form (that Uni may or may not have found herself staring at on more than a few occasions, ok it wasn't her fault that at every professional gathering the CPUs used their HDD form, and it wasn't her fault the dress Nepgear often picked was just oh so nice)
This was just humiliating. Why? Why did Black Sister have to shrink?! Why did everyone have to know!?
"Uni?"
Goddamnit all. Why? Why was this person here? Standing at her door as her gentle voice reached Uni's eardrums. Doing her best to glare up, she looked at the invader to her territory with haughty defiance
"What do you want?" She snarled, as the person let herself in. The gall.
"Uni… are you ok?" She asked, as she sat herself on the end of Uni's bed. Crossing her legs in a manner befit of a lady, her lilac hair as well cared for as always. Goddess. How did she look so graceful, so effortlessly!? This was maddending. How was Uni even supposed to stand in the same room as Nepgear?!
"Why do you even care?" Uni eventually huffed as she made an effort to look away from her friend, who let out a conflicted noise,
"Uni…" She let out, as she considered what words to say next, "I saw the article-" Yet before she could finish Uni interrupted her,
"Yea of course you did. You didn't even have to read it! Let me guess. You're the one who spilled on me!" Uni faced her friend again as she yelled, pointing her shaky hand, as Nepgear felt her features shaking,
"Uni… I didn't-"
"I bet it feels awful great humiliating me! Huh!? I bet you just relish in it, don't you!" Uni yelled, tears welling up in her eyes, not even sure if she truly believed the words that left her mouth, yet… " Oh yes. 'Everyone, look at Uni the flatty! I bet it's funny! Hahaha! Let's all laugh at Uni! Lets-"
"ENOUGH!" Nepgear eventually had enough. As she physically stopped the words leaving Uni's mouth. Using her hands to cover Uni's mouth, taking deep breaths, Nepgear tried to stabilize herself. "Uni…" eventually she felt her hands crumble to her side,
"What… no funny quips?" Uni glared at her as…
"Shut up!" Nepgear yelled frustrated tears of her own budding in her eyes, as she felt her body act on its own, running her hand across her best friend's cheek. Her best friend, who could only feel a shadow cover her eyes, "Do… do you really think I think that!?" she yelled, frustrated, and confused,
"..." yet Uni didn't have a response
"You dummy!" Nepgear then yelled, taking a page out of Uni's own book. As she balled her fists at the hem of her dress.
"But… but…" Uni didn't even know if she could find the words. "You don't get it…" She eventually managed. How could Nepgear possibly get it? She wasn't like her. Purple Sister was so… pretty. So unlike Black Sister. Graceful. Gorgeous. No matter how hard she tried, Black Sister would never touch that level! "It must be nice! To look at me from that damn high horse! You're already so damn pretty! You don't even have to try!" Uni found her voice again as she yelled. And now… it was Nepgear's turn to feel a shadow cover her eyes,
"Uni…" She didn't even know what to say. Did it really bother her that much? That her chest shrunk a little? Balling her fists, she eventually forced her body into action. As a bright light overtook the spacious room, Purple Sister soon taking the place of Nepgear, as she moved herself to stare her best friend in the eyes,
"I don't understand? Uni…" Purple Sister took a deep breath as she soon tried to voice herself, "Uni… do you know how long I've struggled to find confidence in this form?" She gently asked, as Uni looked up to her, wildly confused,
"What?" What on earth was she talking about? "You're… you're lying!" That was the only conclusion she could draw. Pointing her finger at her once more, Uni continued, "You liar! What do you have to worry about!? You're goddamn beautiful! You don't have a goddamn thing to worry abo-" Uni was silenced by Purple Sister grabbing her shaky hand, as she cut her off,
"Uni… I… I used to hate this form." She explained, as Uni's eyes began shaking, "I don't change. Everyone else. Sis… you all become such better awesome cool people when you transform. But me? I'm the same person. If I just put on my processor as my human form. No one could tell the difference. But you know what, Uni?" Purple Sister asked, as Uni looked at her, mystified,
"What?" She softly asked, as Nepgear grabbed both her hands now, looking her gently in her eyes,
"I love Black Sister." She dreamily stared in her eyes, as Uni felt herself melt. "It's the same thing I had to realize. I had to realize there were many people out there who loved Purple Sister. So let me tell you. I love Black Sister. That junk about your chest shrinking? Do you honestly think the people who care about you care about that!? Do you think that little of us? I don't care! Even a little! Because Black Sister is still beautiful! I love her twin tails. I love how she gets more confident, because, Uni should have more confidence too!" Purple Sister fiercely explained, as Uni felt tears welling up once more, as she gripped herself to her friend, as she let out the tears she had in her system, as Purple Sister gently smiled, eventually, as Uni dried her eyes, she looked at her,
"Uni, transform" She borderline ordered, as Uni looked at her with troubled eyes,
"W-what?" She asked, as Purple Sister looked at her with determined eyes,
"Transform. I want to see her." She reupped, as Uni bit her lip, as another bright light overtook the room, and soon Purple Sister, was face to face with Black Sister, as the former couldn't help the smile on her face,
"See. You're lovely" She complemented, Black Sister not believing the words that left her mouth. How was the most beautiful person she knew telling her this? "Hey. Uni?" She heard her gentle and beautiful voice once more, "Say cheese!" Black Sister gasped as Purple Sister summoned her N-gear, turning it to selfie mode, as Black Sister did her best to pose next to her, as Purple Sister snapped the pic, soon typing a storm, as she eventually turned the screen to her, showing her the chirper post she had just made, already blowing up as it read,
'Just two beautiful ladies. Fight me'
"Nepgear…" Uni soon threw herself around her once more, as the two simply let themselves enjoy the embrace,
"Hmmm… ok? Uni? Don't let yourself feel like you aren't good enough ever again. Because if I ever see it… I'll yell at you till you believe me. Ok!?" Purple Sister explained, as Black Sister smiled, trying to accept it in her own mind.
